Hospitality & Retail Management

Mission Statement

The Mission of the Department of Hospitality and Retail Management is to provide quality
education, research, and service focused on the knowledge and skills intrinsic in
the disciplines of Hospitality Management and Retail Management.

Undergraduate Programs

The Restaurant, Hotel and Institutional Management (RHIM) program prepares students for management career opportunities in the hospitality
industry. The curriculum includes courses in nutritional sciences, arts and sciences,
and both core and elective courses in RHIM.

Our hospitality management BAAS program, with a focus in lodging, food and beverage, and hospitality business, will put you
on the fast track to earning a bachelor's degree upon completion of your associate
of applied sciences degree from an approved institution.

Our Retail Management degree excels in both the creative and commercial aspects of
fashion merchandising. You will develop the professionalism, business knowledge, and
practical experience you need to work in fashion retail management.

Graduate Programs

The Master of Science in Hospitality and Retail Management is designed for students with either a bachelor's degree in hospitality or retail
management. Persons with work experience in either area, with a bachelor's degree
outside of hospitality or retail management, will also be considered.

Skyviews of Texas Tech University

Skyviews is set above the treetops on the sixth floor of the Texas Tech Plaza and is almost
entirely student-run. In addition to the view, the restaurant offers a fine dining
atmosphere to patrons at dinner, and a venue where RHIM students learn restaurant
management from the inside out. Restaurant, Hotel and Institutional Management majors
at Texas Tech spend hours every week running Skyviews Restaurant, where they say they
get not only an education, but also a glimpse of the real world.
